I am seriously considering crossplaying Lila but it will take some nerve to wear a skirt that is that short. :drink: I'm new to crossplaying, cosplaying and anime in general, So I'll take as much help as I can get.

I am seriously considering crossplaying Lila but it will take some nerve to wear a skirt that is that short.
That's the fun of it :)

On second thought..... I just googled those characters and it looks like the animators are pushing the erotic value to the max.

I see several options: you could make a kind of swimsuit/bodysuit as modest as you'd like, and consider the skirt just an ornament. (This is the way I'm approaching my sailor Venus costume) Or you could make the skirt longer, choosing to ignore the flashing panties component of your character. Many people do that and there are lenghty threads about the accuracy vs. modesty issue.

Either case, I'm sure you'll have a blast wearing that at a con.

Regarding help... just be more specific and we'll be there...

Reading more on that series: "The series is still a total guilty pleasure. It's so voyeuristic and near-pornographic you have to chuckle in places at the audacity of it all, and yet at the same time, be thankful that political correctness hasn't infected Japan yet. What makes it perverted, of course, is the camera angles....The one real problem with the series is its tendency to jump ahead in plot points, or simply jump to the ending. It's only a half-hour series, and really does need a full hour to get into the story. Either that or they need to stop wasting time elsewhere, like the lingering upskirt shots." quoted from http://dvd.ign.com/articles/452/452089p1.html?fromint=1

The Anime is rated NC-17 when you buy it. Over all it is an ok Anime and I own it all, but for someone to really want to Crossplay either of those two characters had just best know a lot of about things to do it right is all. Really if someone is willing to do it I wish them luck.
